He and I came up with a potentially sure victory for John McCain, though it's not really a great thing, but better than Obama. He launches a series of ads that, you know, show how, you know, this is Obama's kind of...

They're funny. I know they pose a threat, but I mean they're both laughable.CALLER: Well, that's true. I've got a little bit of concern about the stock market. If and when our friend Obama...

RUSH: There was an event on Capitol Hill yesterday, just give you an idea. Do you know how many hearings, by the way, the Congress, House and Senate combined have had on oil and energy this year? Do you know how many hearings there have been with the Big Oil execs and without, just exploratory hearings? They've had 40 hearings on oil and energy, and has anything happened? Yes, the price has continued to go up. Do you know how many hearings they have had on whether or not the United States tortures...

RUSH: I don't believe what I'm seeing. Hillary Clinton standing off to the side while Obama is at the podium up there in Unity, New Hampshire, and she's got her hands clasped, and she is just looking at him so admiringly, and I don't believe for a minute she is admiring or enjoying whatever is going on. This is all about $10 million being raised. She never looked that fawning at her own husband. You see her stare at him from the gallery at the House during the State of the Union speech? I...

RUSH: Nina in Dallas, nice to have you, Nina. The last Nina was sort of off the charts. I hope you're better.CALLER: Well, it's Nina, it's not Nina, I'm Nina. Okay, it's been a pleasure waiting on you, and I want to talk about George Carlin. And my son and I think that -- well, whatever it was, what was it, was it a skit?RUSH: Well, it was from one of his comedy acts, there were three sound bites here from one of his -- I think it was probably from an HBO special that he did, might have been...

Nice to have you on the program, sir.CALLER: Yeah, hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.RUSH: Yes, sir.CALLER: Here in Florida, and yesterday you came on the program and first said -- man, I'm nervous, so I'll just try not to look like an idiot -- but you said why do we wait on the Supreme Court every year in June. Well, why we wait, Rush, or why we listen to what they have to say, because they're the law of the land. Anthony Kennedy...

RUSH: Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, said today that politicians who suggest that lifting a ban on offshore oil drilling would ease rising fuel prices in the US were "blowing smoke." Actually, I guess he said this yesterday in Miami. This is what he said.SCHWARZENEGGER: From the rethinking nuclear power to pushing biofuels and more renewables and ending the ban on offshore drilling, and it goes on and on the list. But anyone who tells you that this will bring down our gas...

RUSH: To the phones we go on Open Line Friday. Corvallis, Oregon. Kathy, I'm glad you called. You're up first. That's an awesome responsibility.

I called because you had a statistic yesterday about college students, 65% women, 35% men?RUSH: Yeah, that was at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, but it's like that. In fact, Dawn's daughter...

RUSH: Now, one of the things that -- we talk about the Drive-By Media here quite a bit, and we analyze them a lot, and there have been periods of time in this program I've frankly gotten tired of it because everybody knows that they have a bias and everybody knows that they have an agenda, and what's news about it? I try to ignore 'em, and just can't. They are such a destructive force. They are so heavily aligned with the Democrats. But perhaps the thing of which they are the most responsible...

RUSH: Somebody pointed out, I wish I had made this point yesterday. I don't know who did this. Somebody sent me a note saying somebody said it and they couldn't remember who said it. But Obama was out there praising the Supreme Court decision yesterday on the guns, (paraphrasing) "Oh, yeah, it's very constitutional, I totally support it," after he had dissed it way back a year ago. You wouldn't believe, by the way, the stories in the Drive-Bys trying to sanitize this guy from all of his changes....
